THIS IS THE NEW SECRET SATANS THREAD.
Aka the "Shit I wanna send/get a gift, but my dude never sent me anything"
Read on for questions/answers.
So Christmas came and went, some without ever receiving a package from their secret partner.
So this is a chance for people who want to exchange gifts, to do so.
1. The MOST important rule: DO NOT FUCKING WELSH HERE. Per Cardboard Tube: "I don't care if you sent 5 gifts and they all failed to arrive. Send a sixth." NO FUCKING EXCUSES. If you sign up, your person better get something!
2. There is no minimum spending amount and no maximum spending amount. If you buy someone an ipod and get a barbie doll don't come bitching to me.
3. International people are allowed. If you would prefer not to get an international satee, feel free to let me know in the signup email. But depending on how many international folks show up, you may get one anyway. IF YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT OR WILL NOT SEND SOMETHING INTERNATIONALLY, DON'T SIGN UP. CANADA DOES NOT COUNT AS INTERNATIONAL
4. People who do not send gifts will be banned. (SEE STEP 1!)
5. DO NOT BITCH ABOUT WHAT YOU GOT. CONVERSELY, TRY TO SEND PEOPLE THINGS YOU THINK THEY WILL LIKE BASED ON WHAT THEY POST.
6. UNLESS SPECIFIED AS SOMETHING THEY WOULD LIKE, PLEASE DO NOT SEND NSFW GIFTS.
7. Have fun or I'll fucking kill you. Both Shoe and I will kill you, in fact.
8. Not, in fact, a Seattle thread.

For the people who were stiffed, pretty much.
I suppose people can sign up provided they did it before and sent a gift.
Thank god I sent my satanee a decent placeholder gift cause I still haven't sent the gift proper. SORRY COSMIC SOMBRERO
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
edit: haha, what crazy timing
Laters.
You all just bitch about it in here, is the purpose of this?
How many people stiffed on presents?
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
I don't know what it is, but IP bans kinda do nothing. I guess my IP changes all the time because of my router or something, I don't know how it works. Last time I wanted to check the Secret Satan thread for any response of my satan I was IP banned so it's probably always the same ones. And even if I wanted to do anything here while being banned, I could just use a proxy.
That is very decent of you, Tossrock.

hey satan...: thinkgeek amazon My post |
Ready, motherfuckers? Here it goes.
So there I am, its Christmas 2006! I've got Reggie's name! Reggie is known as Reginald on these boards, but back in the day, we did Flying Stove secret fantas, and I drew his name. For the record, Janson got my name, and gave me a truly awesome gift-overload for which I am forever indebted to her.
But enough of that shit, on with the tale. I hope you are reading this in your most epic voice ever, because this shit is intense. Now, I was never really sure what to get Reggie, I just decided to take a shot in the dark and get him some of the things I loved. I got him some Pimms because they are delicious, and then I got him 3 CDs and a movie and a lego set, because man, I do love fucking legos, and everyone loves fucking legos. If you don't like legos you can mozy on out of this thread and every thread because you are horrible and need to die. The CDs were the Misfits collection 1, "Plan 9" as its referred to, Danzig I, and Scandinavian Leather by Turbonegro. The movie was the four disk directors cut edition of Kingdom of Heaven.
I fire this off to Reggie, but it is returned. Dismay! Why am I getting this package back?! Oh, he moved. I tried to get the new address, but no, no update! Where have you gone, Reggie? Where did you move to? Are you alive?
No reply.
Eventually I just gave up, and I kept the package with me, wrapped and stamped by postage workers, never to be opened. A year goes by, and then another year. I've moved twice, but still, I have this package with me, this brown paper box sealed in tape with a RETURN TO SENDER stamped on it. Its the week before PAX. Fuck it, says I, I'm gonna give all this shit away at PAX. It is PAX 2008, this stuff has been sitting around for two years, I never got an adaquate reply, Flying Stove has since been buried under the wind-driven sand like the Sphinx of ancient Egypt, I mean, what else was there to do? Keep the gifts? Fuck that noise, these items were meant to be gifts, so I'm gonna use them to spread some love.
So, I dig deep in my boxes and find that brown-wrapped box, and I slice it open, and I carefully extract my 'Holiday Greetings circa 2006' and the receipt for the music just incase they were to be returned, because hell, I don't need those falling out while giving away the items and making shit awkward. Then I carefully slide the box back inside the brown paper, and reseal the entire thing before stuffing it into my bag along with, you know, clothes and booze and your other PAX essentials.
Fast forward to Thursday night. I'm at the big SE++ dinner, I'm hangin' with my peeps, exchanging laughs and stories and toasts with the many fantastic forumites I've met through this little slice of internet I call home, when a man to my right introduces himself to me. He seems to know me - not surprising, I mean, I've camwhored a bit, here I am drinking volumes, I mean, its not hard to connect the dots. He introduces himself as Reginald. The name is slightly familiar. "Reginald like.... Reggie?" I ask him.
"Uh, yeah," he answers.
"Reggie like '<real name>' Reggie?"
He seems a bit surprised I know his name, perhaps the word here is "perturbed." He nods and affirms.
I'm still kinda stuck in a loop here, I can't quite believe my ears. "Like, Flying Stove Reggie? That Reggie?!"
"Yeah." At this point I can tell he's totally nonplussed.
I put my hand on his shoulder, lean in a little closer, and I say to him, "Dude, I have something for you." And no, I wasn't coming onto him, get your filthy minds out of the gutter, please, this is a PG retelling.
TL: DR, On a complete whim I brought a two-year old gift to PAX and ended up meeting the guy who was meant to have it, and I delivered to him the contents, and in the lobby of the W we cracked open a pack of battered (but still serviceable!) Pimms and passed them out and had a mini Christmas with those around us.

cause I know Pimms as a drink - namely spiced Gin.

I think it was more him moving and losing internet for quite some time, which was why I tried to go through other forumers who knew him in person, and then by that time, Flying Stove was in decline, I dunno, ask Reggie, fairly certain he didn't stiff anyone on a gift.
Pimms are like Jaffa Cakes though slightly inferior but still quite tasty.

Added to the OP. I know there are still people stiffed. Come on, sign up!
Steam
Gettin all gigantic in your tummy!
i'll take it!
But is this new SS for everyone or just those got stiffed?
I'm short on cash so I probably just take my lumps and go home and hope for better fortunes next year.
It's for people who got stiffed, but unless 5-10 people say they just want to send something and receive nothing, people have to sign up willing to send something else. But anyone can sign up if they are willing to send and receive.
Edit: Answered in the post directly above.
Has any action been taken against the people who welshed on the last one, because otherwise this seems like an opportunity for someone to sign up and welsh a second time.
